Do companies act like it's "free" time? My impression was that it's intended to be free time to focus on projects of your choosing, but still things that will (or may) benefit the company. This is a far cry from free time to work on personal endeavors which you seem to be describing.
- sqldba 11y agoIt's not like you're digging a hole in your backyard. It's meant to be (or should be) providing time to do something outside of management's understanding of what's important.
- bostonpete 11y agoSure, but has any company ever had a completely hands-off approach to 20% time? That seems unrealistic to expect for such a large investment. I'm sure you have to strike the right balance in order for that time to be effective but your initial comment came across sounding like any attempt by the company to ensure that the 20% is time well-spent is some sort of intrusion into developers' "free" time.
